India 10-minute grocery delivery via dense dark-store network
Zepto is India's leading 10-minute quick-commerce grocery-delivery app, founded in 2021 by Stanford dropouts Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra. The company has scaled aggressively against Zomato's Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart by building a dense network of urban dark stores. In October 2025, Zepto raised $450M at a $7B valuation - nearly doubling from $3.6B in mid-2024 - and is widely expected to IPO in 2026. Total funding raised across rounds exceeds $2.3B.
